Radioactive gibberellin A(1) ((3)H-GA(1)) was injected into excised fruits of peas and Japanese morning glory. These were then grown in sterile culture to maturity and the label was followed in the seeds during further development and subsequent germination. During development of both pea and morning-glory seeds a large part of the radioactivity became associated with the aqueous fraction, whil...

Renal phenotypes ranged from normal kidneys with the absence of proteinuria to ...
